Floating in space

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today and since it is International Space Day today I thought I'd link in with that...yes, I'm aware it's also Star Wars Day...a happy coincidence this year!

I'm really enjoying creating backgrounds for my characters with Distress Oxides and I especially love the effect of adding water to them.
I wanted to create a 'spacey' feeling for this one (obviously!) so first I used a spray bottle from overhead to give a misting of fine dots and then added in some bigger splotches with the end of a paintbrush dipped in water.

I love how cute his little silver tubing looks but please don't ask me why it goes into the eyelet on the sentiment...it was one of those 'I just thought it looked cool' moments! I guess not everything has to make sense in crafting...it's just art!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the links or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Great card. TFS. I got sent to your blog from a link on Pinterest saying you have an easy take on doing a starburst card! Oh I've looked and looked for ever (it seems lol) for the card using this technique but I'm sorry to say I can't find it anywhere. Do you know where the tutorial you've done for the starburst is please? Xxx

Hi Andrea, I'm really sorry but I don't think I have ever done a tutorial for this technique on my blog. I have done a Masterclass in Papercraft inspirations magazine with basic and advanced cards so maybe this is what the link was for? It was issue 167 so you may be able to get a back copy if you wanted it.
